The Arena sets the summer. From June to September the amphitheatre stages opera on alternating evenings and the squares around Piazza Brà stay busy well past midnight, with an audience that is largely international and mostly in town for a night or two. April belongs to the wine trade, when Vinitaly fills Veronafiere on the southern edge of the city with buyers from abroad.

The centre is small enough to cross on foot inside the bend of the Adige, and the hotels there are converted palazzi rather than towers. The grander addresses lie outside it, on villa estates twenty to thirty minutes west through Valpolicella and towards Lake Garda, set in their own grounds and approached from private drives. High-class companions are present in both, and the distance between them is short enough to be unremarkable.

Dinner is the centre of an evening here rather than an opening act. Three starred kitchens sit inside the walls alongside a wine culture deeper than the star count suggests, and tables run late through the opera season. Engagements in Verona tend to take that shape, built around a long evening rather than a late one.
